Everything is pointing to me getting one it ticks all the boxes, I'm not overly keen on the looks it's a bit too car looking but I'm sure it will grow on me, but I have my jeep Cherokee off roader which ticks my rugged looks box, we also have a Honda CR-V which is the wife's car so like SUV style and the elevated driving position.
The Lexus will be replacing my Honda Accord which I have just sold to a friend, which I prefer the drive of a more car like suv but need a bit more oomph than another crv.
I also dislike diesels but I'm using my Cherokee every day at the moment and 12-14 mpg is all I'm getting with a 5" lift and off-road tyres.
Seen a few local just need time to go and view them, I'm not worried about mileage as my jeep has 140,000 on it and out of my 7 jeeps I've owned it has the strongest engine and smoothest gearbox of the lot.
I'd like a black one but they seem few and far between, not usually keen on silver but it suits the Lexus quite well.
Hopefully I'll be able to post some good news soon.
